Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for January 05, 2014

Mimi does it w family and Calvin does it alone.

Nope. don’t think there is a dignified way to fall.

such a sweet dad.

Definitely a Daddy’s little girl…

It’s Not about the fall it’s about with whom. Rarely is there a positive mom dad Calvin strip. It sometimes seems Calvin’s doing by himself.

The respelling representing Mimi’s language is silly, e.g. how is greytful different from grateful. If she were actually speaking, she might say gwateful. If a beginning speller, the prominent “a” sound would be spelled “a” and she probably wouldn’t even know the different spelling of the color grey. This is just one example of many whenever Mimi is featured.

Aw, I think it’s cute. The spelling is for our benefit and doesn’t reflect what Mimi knows (or doesn’t know) about spelling.

I skip the ones where Mimi talks because it takes too long to decipher. :-/

The spelling is for us to sound out and hear how a toddler would sound. I think she is adorable.

Aikido = A dignified way to fall

Why does this kid sound like Schwarzenegger? [sp?]

I haven’t been ice skating in a LONG time.

Excuse me! Translation: “Yes! How are you? Pleased to meet you!” “Thank you very much!”
